Hi,

I want to execute this command at command prompt
"cat DSLEastCommon.h@@/main/sda_1.9/SDA_1.12.10/SDA_1.12.10_Visibroker_migration/1"

But the problem is whenever I copy this .. due to "@" symbol, it is not able to write the whole line. It becomes

"/main/sda_1.9/SDA_1.12.10/SDA_1.12.10_Visibroker_migration/1" ..

Same in vi also.

Please let me know if anybody has faced this problem.

thanks.
Mahesh
 
Just replace the @ with *
"cat DSLEastCommon.h*/main/sda_1.9/SDA_1.12.10/SDA_1.12.10_Visibroker_migration/1"
 
the above suggestion is fine if the file i unique otherwise you can issue "stty kill x". if you issue stty without any arguments you'll notice kill is set to @. just replace x in the previous command with some other character that is not present in the command line you're trying to issue.
